Ubuntu :: Keep Desktop Settings After Reinstall?

Sep 1, 2011

Which folders hold the user desktop settings? The following folders appear to be important, but I wanted to make sure:

/home/user/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers
/home/user/.icons
/home/user/.themes/20110629
/home/user/.fonts

Are there any other folders that I'm missing? I'm pretty picky about the placement of my launchers and the folders that I have, fonts, etc. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome.

Ubuntu :: Grub2 Settings Not Retained - Reinstall Grub?

Aug 14, 2010

This is closely related to a recent thread of mine that I unfortunately marked as solved prematurely. I'll try to keep it brief this time. After editing partitions I was left with a boot problem, namely "error: no such partition" and I am dropped at the 'grub rescue>' prompt. I can issue the appropriate grub commands and successfully boot the current kernel. Once booted, I executed 'sudo update-grub' and then /boot/grub/grub.cfg was rewritten with all drive and partition references correct. Likewise, /etc/fstab is also correct.

The problem comes when I attempt to reboot. I still get the 'no such partition' message and the 'set' command reveals that grub is still trying to reference the old partition. I've never encountered this problem before under similar circumstances. I'm guessing that this info must be stored in the disk's MBR as well as in grub.cfg because that file looks completely correct. Am I going to have to reinstall grub now?

Ubuntu :: Desktop Settings Not Saved / What To Do?

Jul 27, 2010

It's weird - every time I restart Ubuntu, my screen settings are at 1024x768@60Hz. When I change them to my preferred settings, this will completely destroy the order I like about my panel icons and it starts to suck.
I use an Onboard Intel graphics card.
Any advice on what to do?

Ubuntu :: Desktop Power Settings Ignored

Jan 29, 2011

I was up all night trying to set up for a switch from Linux Mint 10 32-bit to Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. For the most part, the migration has been successful. However, I'm having an issue with the power management settings: even though I've told Power Management to never turn off or lock the display, it does so anyway. I've saved it as default, rebooted, and still the same - after several minutes, the screen turns off and shows the lock screen when I wake it up with the mouse.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Desktop Forget Settings

Nov 14, 2010

I originally performed an xubuntu install on my laptop and did not like the xfce desktop so I remove the xfce4 desktop and install the ubuntu desktop. All is fine except for when I want to customize my desktop, no matter what I do, gnome will not rememeber the changes that I made to the desktop. The minute I reboot the laptop it forgets all the changes that I did to it. So in other words any changes like adding stuff to the panel or links to the desktop the minute a reboot is done is resorts back to the defaults.

Ubuntu :: Resetting To Default Desktop Environment Settings

Jan 10, 2011

When I sudo apt-get install['ed] kolourpaint, I had to download all the stuff necessary for a KDE environment, I think. When I restarted the machine, everything went from black to light grey. Even NetworkManager went from the three or four curves to the pair of blue monitor computers. How do I restore the desktop environment settings?Since things changed after a command-line instruction, feel free to post the appropriate command-line instruction.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Forgetting Desktop Settings And Not Loading Icons?

May 11, 2010

Since I've upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10 my computer has started acting strange. First of all, it keeps forgetting my wallpaper. Most of the time, not all of the time. Another problem is that the power-button in the upper right corner does not appear at every boot. It seems to be forgetting other settings as well from time to time.

What I belive might be causing this problem is that I mount my home directory from a server, and a wild guess is that it is somehow a random order of the startup sequence, so that some features are loaded before the mounting is complete.

Ubuntu Installation :: Desktop Activity Settings Leads To Blank Screen

Apr 27, 2010

I've upgraded from Karmic 64-bit kubuntu to the RC build for Lucid. I have two pcs connected to two monitors via an Aten dual head KVM switch. With the new release I only get a background slideshow on one monitor. I can get an image on the first monitor by right clicking and choosing Next Wallpaper image, but it never changes. When I select Desktop Activity Settings both monitors go entirely blank, except for the mouse cursor. The Display Multiple Monitors screen has ticks in all the multiple monitor checkboxes and Identify All Displays correctly identifies both monitors.

Debian Multimedia :: Xfce 4.6 Won't Remember Desktop Settings

Mar 3, 2011

My Googling about this said to make sure xfdesktop was running. I have.Changes made to the panel, to startup and session persist.But number of workplaces, wallpaper, font, theme and so on revert to what they were before. These settings are from when I used Xfce before in Ubuntu 8.04. (My /home dir is on its own partition and I like to keep all my config files for apps I have used and might want to again.)I suspect I might need to delete a config file but I'd rather not undo all of the other settings that do work. Which? Or is it something else?

General :: Difference In Settings: Console From Desktop & Ssh As Display Not Set When Ssh In?

Jul 2, 2010

Debian Squeeze: Linux jilldando 2.6.32-trunk-486 #1 Sun Jan 10 05:53:18 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

gdm for desktop manager

I have 4 differences situations, 2 work, 2 do not: So I think my server box (Jill) is messed up.

1) On the server desktop, I can open a console as the gui logged in user and type: xeyes and those eyes appear.echo $DISPLAY :0.0

2) If from that console I log in as another user (ros) and then type:
xeyes I get:

Error: Can't open display:
echo $DISPLAY
(NOTHING)
so that will be a problem.

3) If I ssh into my offices remote server from my XP machine with putty and x-forwarding and then type:
xeyes and those eyes appear.

echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0

4) If I ssh into Jill from my XP machine with putty and x-forwarding and then type:
xeyes I get:

Error: Can't open display: echo $DISPLAY (NOTHING)so that will be a problem.

This leads me to think I have something messed up on my Linux box Jill.

I have tried setting DISPLAY= to various values but same error, so this led me to believe something else needs setting. Especially as env yields alot more in situation 1 than in situation 2.

What can I set where, that will allow me run xeyes (anything X) in situations 2 and 4, just like in situation 1 and 3?
